Not at all, it creates as many versions of the universe as are needed so that all possibilities of existence can be experienced. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em> That is the infinite way.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> Limited thinking makes people believe that resources are limited, that there is only &#8220;so much&#8221; available. While this appears to be true at the time, it ignores the fact that you can create new abundance in many ways. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> Did the number of horses in the 19th Century limit how easily people can travel today? Not at all.

Not at all. The personal computer changed all that. Today, home computers are far more powerful than the largest business computers were in 1970. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong> Trip to Mars?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiritualdynamics.net\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Mars.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spiritualdynamics.net\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Mars.gif\" alt=\"Mars\" width=\"123\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a>Did the cost of flying into outer space in the 1960s limit people&#8217;s ability to go on tourist trips to Mars today? Well, okay&#8230; more work needs to be done on that one! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Since nature is so abundant, how can people tap into that abundance and create it in their own lives? It certainly doesn&#8217;t happen by making loud demands at a conscious level, or just by wishing, wanting, or hoping. It is human consciousness which creates lack, and it is also human consciousness which creates abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If it is human consciousness that is doing the creating, then why isn&#8217;t everyone creating abundance, joy, and peace?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">There are principles involved in how we create.
